BOSTON — It was no secret Tyler Seguin was the odds-on favorite to be a healthy scratch for the start of the playoffs in the weeks leading up to the postseason.

Today after his team’s morning skate at TD Garden in preparation for Game 1 of an Eastern Conference quarterfinal series against Montreal, head coach Claude Julien put an end to all the educated speculation. He was asked the logic behind sitting Seguin:

“There’s no logic here, I think it’s just we’ve got 20 guys in our line-up tonight that we feel is the line-up we want to go with.”

Can I just say, that I love this Blog site and those that come here to contribute. There is so much nonsense and hyper-sensitivity out there related to this kid. Its refreshing to read through opinions of sensible hockey fans.

Wooohoo. Go Bs! Long time since ’72 (I had just learned to skate backwards at that point, and had absolutely no idea how special those days were!)
